Answer A, B, & C. Copy 1 through 7. Replication Activity A. List the nitrogen bases in DNA B. Describe how the nitrogen bases pair in the DNA molecule. (Apply this answer below) C. One section of a strand of DNA has the base sequence AGATTC. What is the base sequence of other strand? (Remember that DNA has two strands connected by bases. Replication 1. Replication occurs when one double-sided strand of DNA becomes two double-sided strands. 2. The shape of DNA is a twisted ladder. 3. Two nitrogenous bases make up each step of the ladder. 4. The complementary base pairs are AT or TA and CG or GC 5. During replication, the two sides of a DNA strand separate and two new strands form by complementary pairs being added to each side of the split. 6. Replication 1st. The DNA unzips making two single strands. 2nd. Free bases are added to their complimentary bases forming new double strands. 3rd. The bases are connected to form the new sides. 7. Finish writing the bases for the new side-strand of DNA using the idea of complementary base pairs. C-C-A-G-T-A-G-T-T-G-A-C Replication Activity Steps Build the original piece of DNA:
1. Take one full set of pieces and arrange them in a DNA ladder with the bases matching correctly.
2. Start with two bases paired correctly. This is the first step in the DNA ladder.
3. Add a second step to the DNA ladder with the bases paired correctly. Now add a third step.
4. The sides of the ladder are alternating circles and pentagons. Optional: Connect the circles and pentagons using the tiniest, smallest, piece of tape possible.
5. Continue adding steps to the DNA ladder until there are eight steps using only one set of bases. Replicating the Original DNA:
1. Start to “unzip” the ladder, separating base pairs one at a time.
2. Add bases to the exposed steps until there are two DNA ladders.
3. Compare the two DNA ladders to see if they are identical.
4. The paired bases in each DNA ladder should be identical. If not try again. (Redo steps 1 & 2)
Because of the way in which the nitrogen bases pair with one another, the order of the bases in each new DNA molecule exactly matches the order in the original DNA molecule.

Part 2 Cell Cycle Draw the cell cycle Include: Interphase The four steps of Mitosis Cytokinisis Put the following on your drawing where it belongs. The cell makes a copy of its DNA and various organelles. Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes and spindle fibers form. The chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell. Chromosome copies separate and move to opposites sides of the cell. New nuclear envelopes begin to form. The cell splits in the middle with a nucleus and half the organelles in each new cell.
